Olive Oil

Producing olive oil is a long process and may be difficult for some but if you follow these steps you can do the best in a short time.

First, between September and December, the olives are harvested by hand or with sticks and rakes. Then they are collected on nets beneath the trees. After that, leaves and small stones are removed and the olives are run through a washer to remove any impurities before crushing. Then, within 24-36 hours of picking, the olives are crushed by granite millstones. The olive paste obtained is layered on mats which are put under pressure from a screw or hydraulic press. The liquid produced is collected and put through a centrifugal separator to separate the water and impurities from the oil. Finally, after centrifugation, the oil is obtained.

Olive oil has many benefits and it is important to learn how to manufacture but you must follow these steps carefully so we get excellent quality.

The UAE & Brunei

There are many countries in the world that a lot of people want to visit. In this essay, I’m going to write about the similarities and differences between the UAE and Brunei.

There are many major similarities between them. First of all is that both of them are Islamic countries, so you can see a lot of mosques and some of the effects of Islam in both countries. Another similarity is that both countries are considered economically developed countries because of the availability of oil resources in both countries. Yet another similarity is that both of them have nice views to see, so a lot of tourists are visiting the two countries.

Although there are similarities, there are many important differences between them. The first difference is the language; there is little difference between the two countries. The second difference is the difference in position; the UAE is in the Middle East whereas Brunei is in the Far East; therefore, there is a difference in customs and traditions between the two countries.

All in all, Brunei is a nice country to live in and enjoy with the nice views but I prefer to live in the UAE with my family and my friends because I am satisfied with my work and my life.

UAE & Brazil teams

There are many important football teams in the world.The UAE and Brazil have similarities and differences in some ways. In this essay, now I’m going to write about the similarities and differences between them.

Although there are similarities, there are many important differences between them. The first difference is that all players of Brazil are exert professionals outside their country, but the UAE’s player play in their country. Another difference is that the players of Brazil have the skill and high – speed whereas the UAE’s players have normal skills.
All in all, the UAE’s player can offer some of the skills, but I prefer to watch the players of Brazil because I would like to enjoy the high skill.

Reflection 3

I have learned how to make nice process writing but first it’s important to turn the verbs to the passive voice.

The process writing is not difficult but you must follow some steps to do the best.

The first paragraph has the idea and it includes about 25 – 30 words. The second paragraph has the main idea and here you must use the passive voice; it will have 100 words. The last paragraph contains a brief conclusion and it will have 25 -30 words.

Don’t forget that you can use the same linking words like first, second, next, after that and finally.

Reflection 4

Compare & contrast essays should consist of:

(a) short introduction to talk about two things that you want to compare and contrast.

(b) a paragraph on what was discussed from the similarities, it must contain at least 3 or 4 similarities and it’s better to have some examples to strengthen the idea.

(c) paragraph that discusses the differences; it also must contain at least 3 or 4 differences.

(d) a good conclusion show where you think you prefer.It doesn’t have to be black and white; you must give the reason for what you will choose .
